NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS AND ADAPTIVE MULTIFUNCTIONAL STRUCTURES

Professor Nikhil Koratkar received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park in November 2000. He joined the faculty of the Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering Department in the spring semester of 2001. Professor Koratkar's research interests are focused on the synthesis of carbon nanostructures, and their integration into multi-scale structural systems. Other research areas include development of Cellular Automata based models for performing nano-scale computations and design of micro-flight-vehicles for battlefield surveillance, urban intelligence gathering and counter terrorism.
